I didn’t start my career in dentistry the way most people do. Before becoming a dentist, I studied music and earned a degree in Jazz Performance at Arizona State University. My twin brother, Shawn, and I both pursued music — I play guitar and he plays upright bass. That love for creativity and precision is still a big part of who I am today, and it naturally carried over into dentistry. Dentistry, much like music, requires both technical mastery and artistry, and that’s what inspired me to pursue this path.
I graduated from NYU College of Dentistry in 2020 and have been practicing for five years. Since then, I have completed over 250 hours of continued education and graduated from the world-renowned Kois Center in Seattle. My ultimate goal is to one day become a Kois Mentor and pass on Kois principles to future dentists.
While I provide all the essentials of everyday dentistry — from fillings and crowns to root canals, extractions, implants, braces, and Invisalign — my true passion lies in advanced care. I specialize in esthetics, TMD (jaw joint disorders), and full-mouth rehabilitation. These cases are complex but deeply rewarding because they often transform not only smiles but also confidence and quality of life.
I believe that no two patients are alike. Every person has their own unique risk factors, genetics, and resistance or predisposition to disease. That’s why I don’t use a “cookie cutter” approach. Instead, I focus on treating the disease of the person, not just the result of the disease.
When designing a smile, I use careful documentation and photography to create a plan — just like you wouldn’t build a house without a blueprint, you shouldn’t create a smile without a design. This allows my patients to see their future smile, provide feedback, and feel confident in the process every step of the way.
For me, dentistry is about doing what’s right and providing the highest standard of care possible. I enjoy working through even the most challenging cases and seeing everything come together in the end, knowing that the treatment was done with intention to last. There’s nothing more fulfilling than helping patients who felt hopeless about their dental health and restoring their ability to smile with confidence again.
I was originally inspired to pursue a career in dentistry by my father. While life ultimately led him down a different career path, I decided to pick up where he left off. While at NYU College of Dentistry, I met many mentors who pushed me to pursue a higher standard of care. I will continue to learn and strive for excellence. I hope to make both my family and mentors proud!
I’ve been practicing dentistry for over five years, focusing on esthetics, TMD, and full mouth rehabilitation. While I handle everyday treatments like fillings, crowns, and root canals, my passion lies in combining science and artistry to restore function and create confident smiles.
What sets our practice apart is our commitment to treating more than just teeth—we treat people. By staying up to date with the latest research and innovations, I use a medical model of care that looks at the whole person, not just the symptoms.
For me, dentistry is about more than procedures. It’s about helping someone get out of pain, rediscover their confidence, or feel proud of their smile again. I also genuinely enjoy learning—whether through continuing education, advanced training, or mentorship—and I’m always striving to bring the best care possible to my patients.
I’m proud to be a graduate of the Kois Center in Seattle, Washington, and to hold the title of Fellow from Implant Pathway. I’m also an active member of the American Dental Association (ADA), the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), and the Kois Center.
Every smile tells a story, and I believe in helping patients choose the one they want to share. Some want to regain the smile they once had, while others dream of a smile they’ve never had before. My role is to guide, listen, and provide honest advice—what I call “ethical esthetics.” Veneers and advanced treatments can be wonderful options, but I always encourage exploring less invasive solutions first.
Throughout my career, I’ve been committed to helping those in need. Each year, I’ve donated full treatments to deserving patients, often announced on Mother’s Day, and I’ve also provided free care to individuals who didn’t have the means to move forward with treatment. For me, dentistry is a way to serve the community as much as it is a profession.
When I’m not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling for continuing education, or playing music. I’m a jazz enthusiast and love playing the upright bass. And, if you ever catch me speaking Spanish, there’s a good chance you’ve got a toothache—I save most of my Spanish for those moments!
